• Best Seinen Slice Of Life Manga
    gamerant.com
    Sometimes, the biggest adventures dont require saving the world from evil aliens, fighting mountain-sized men to a standstill, or punishing fools in the name of the moon. The daily routine can be testing enough, as job deadlines, relationship woes, and family trouble can feel just as dramatic as the direst situations in any shnen manga.

  • Atomfall's Lack of Fast Travel is a Double-Edged Sword
    gamerant.com
    Atomfall is out now, and Rebellion Development's latest release takes a sharp turn from the studio's previous outings in its Sniper Elite series. Initially described by many as a "British Fallout," Atomfall does contain some broad elements to Bethesda's post-apocalyptic franchise, but is also very much its own beast. Set during the aftermath of England's real-life Windscale nuclear power plant incident in 1957, but in an alternate reality where the catastrophe resulted in creating a much more dangerous and eerie landscape, Atomfall beckons fans to uncover the truth beneath the disaster.

  • Storyteller Overlands customized Sprinter camper van sleeps five in its ingenious setup
    www.yankodesign.com
    Fitting a family of four in a camper van feels overly cramped, and here is a manufacturer in Birmingham, Alabama, thats talking about accommodating a group of five with ease. Too good to be true, but its worth delving into the details about how Storyteller Overland is actually making it possible.The journey of this five-seat, five-sleeper camper van starts with an AWD Mercedes-Benz 170 high roof 3500 dually Sprinter, which is rugged and versatile for what we are about to explore. The Sprinter is customized for the convenience of an entire crew, and is aptly called the Crew Mode complete with a pop-top sleeping unit. Already excited? The roof is not even the most exciting part.Designer: Storyteller OverlandThe highlight of the Crew Mode is a nice and thoughtful floor plan, which divides the camper van into three sections: sitting, working and sleeping, if you may. The first up, right in the front, is the commuter zone designed to seat five people. The standard bench, behind the cab seats, has been replaced with three individual chairs placed in a row spanning across the width of the camper van. The passenger-side rear seat is removable, while the cab seats can rotate backwards and the remaining two rear seats can swivel to align against the wall on the driver side, transforming the space into a lounge-style seating arrangement.When you arrive in the middle of the Crew Mode, you will find a kitchen setup on one side and, believe me, a functional bathroom on the other. The kitchen is compact, but also pretty functional with an induction cooktop, an option of microwave or air fryer, space for a mini fridge. The flip-up counter extension helps increase the workspace. The van is equipped with Storyteller Overlands own Boombox bathroom, which comprises a flushing toilet, outdoor shower inside a single compartment that can double as a closet for drying laundry.After a good dump and a sumptuous meal, when it is time to hit the bed, the residents can retire to the third or rearmost section of the camper van. Its here you have Storyteller TroupeLounge two camper lounges facing each other with a space in between occupied by a removable table. The loungers can convert into a queen bed, which, along with a hard-walled pop-up roof, accommodating another full-size bed, complete the sleeping solution for five people. The roof is easily accessible from the inside via an overhead hatch.Another interesting aspect of the Crew Mode is the way it transitions the back section into a toy hauler. A five-foot-long slide-out tray hides within the floor between the two loungers. It can retract out to load a bike or a surfboard and be repositioned inside the camper van for hauling it along to your new adventure. Since the 170 Sprinter is designed to go anywhere, Storyteller packs the Crew with reasons to stay longer outdoors. It comes with its own water facility, has a 345-watt solar power output capacity, and an onboard 16.8-kWh battery pack. The off-grid camper van is Its available starting at $249,000.The post Storyteller Overlands customized Sprinter camper van sleeps five in its ingenious setup first appeared on Yanko Design.

  • MindsEye is About 15 Hours Long, as Developer Aims for a Meaningful, Well-Crafted Story
    gamingbolt.com
    Build A Rocket Boys MindsEye received a release date recently and has caught some attention due to the creative mind behind it former Rockstar North president Leslie Benzie. The new trailer introduces Redrock City, a city caught between controlling forces Silva Industries and Mayor Vega but its more of a faux open world.Speaking to Eurogamer, the developer revealed that MindsEye is a linear narrative that will take about 15 hours to finish. Regarding this, assistant game director Adam Whiting feels theres something about a well-crafted story in an industry looking for the next big live service hit.I understand that the landscape has changed, and. You know, games are so expensive to make I think that people are trying to build like, you know, big life service games. But I think theres something to be said about just like a really meaningful, well-paced, really well-constructed, well-crafted story that players can immerse themselves in, thats got moments of tension, character development, tender moments, and then moments of spectacle and drama.The greater vision is to provide something at the end of a long day at the office, or whatever it is youre doing with your days, just sitting at home and enjoying something thats delivering a meaningful, well-paced story respectful of your time as well.MindsEye doesnt follow the $70 pricing of contemporary triple-A titles, instead costing $59.99. Despite promising a linear adventure, you can get a Premium Pass and a Horde mode mission created in ARCADIA (the developers proprietary toolset) with the Deluxe Edition. The latter will deliver new gameplay frequently, though in what capacity remains to be seen.MindsEye launches on June 10th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.

  • Startup Reportedly Claimed Fake Clients as Its AI-Powered Sales Bot Flailed
    futurism.com
    You've probably heard that AI is going to revolutionize work. That's according to tech tycoons, corporate stenographers, and excited venture capitalists the folks polluting the air we breathe in order to stuff the internet full of AI-generated slop. After all, who's more qualified to understand the essence of a hard day's work?But however much AI hype they drum up, the tech keeps running head-first into reality.Look no further than anew investigation by TechCrunch, alleging a rampant pattern of sketchy behavior by a startup called 11x, a rising star in the AI automation game. 11x's bread and butter is an AI-powered sales robot that's said to place phone calls, scrape data, and schedule meetings without any need for pesky human input. Called the "the leader in AI-powered digital workers," 11x pulled millions in funding over several investor rounds by promising a "new model for how work gets done," according to Joe Schmidt, a partner at Andreessen Horowitz, a major investor in 11x.But investors won't just throw their money at anything they want to see that tech companies like 11x can actually get clients and make money. To court their backers, TCwrites, 11x showed them just that by fabricating customer endorsements, which were then parroted in investor pitches, on its website, and in AI robocalls.This is despite what TC sources say was a mass exodus of early adopters thanks to the AI's annoying habit of hallucinating client info and dropping scheduled meetings. As one former engineer put it: "the products barely work."In order to keep investors as clients fled for the hills, 11x is said to have gotten creative with its accounting, lumping broken contracts in with ongoing customers. On paper, this dramatically boosted 11x's profile, giving outsiders the impression that the startup's salesbot was much more successful than it really was, to the tune of $10 million in revenue in its first two years of operations."We were losing 70 to 80 percent of customers that came through the door," an employee of the startup told TC, allowing 11x to "look like its doing better than it is."On top of all this, 11x employees faced what sound like downright awful working conditions, regularly pulling 60 hours a week, working weekends and holidays, and expectations to be available nearly 24/7. That pressure led to burnout and a constantly revolving door, which might explain why some two dozen former employees and investors were willing to air their laundry toTC.The 11x debacle is just the latest incident confirming that the "AI revolution" is currently little more than marketing hype. Other products meant to integrate into the workplace have been a disaster, like the medical transcription AI that hallucinates patient info, or Air Canada's chatbot that made up nonexistent policies. Last year in the world of sales, a ChatGPT-powered bot agreed to sell a brand new Chevy Tahoe for just $1.If AI is the future of work, someone better tell tech companies to clock in before the hype train leaves for good.Share This Article
